What about the thousands of fish flapping about in local markets or the local Thais 'fishing' with those spear guns along klongs? I went fishing in Issan once they said it would be fun, all they did was pump the water out of a pond then collect the fish on the bottom when it was empty, what's so special about the parrotfish?
I guess you missed the endangered bit.

USA has 30% and doing better than UK, Germany and France with per million death and infection
You obviously have not looked at, or do not understand the statistics.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#main_table
US has 3,003 deaths per million, which is way above UK, Germany and France. The number of cases per million in the UK is higher, but bear in mind that the rate of testing in the UK is about 3 times that of the US.
The booster rate in the UK as of yesterday was 67.4%

Thailand- World leaders in sitting on the fence.
To be fair, Thailand did vote for the UN motion condemning the invasion. Also, unlike most of the EU countries, I don't believe they subsidise Russia by buying their oil and gas.
EU, world leaders in hypocrisy.

The statement they released was mealy mouthed and avoided even naming Russia.
But they supported the UN General Assembly motion condemning the Russian invasion - deeds rather than words are more important in this instance.

Something else to consider for anyone flying back home for jabs
It's highly likely that booster jabs will be needed later perhaps annually to deal with mutations, etc.
It's unknown at this point whether MIXING vaccine brands will be OK or not.
Several European countries have started mixing vaccines, for those whose first dose was Astra Zeneca Denmark and Norway I think, plus maybe France but not so sure. I am not sure what sort of testing they have done as trials on mixing have only just entered second stage in the UK.

Adding ICU beds does not help if there are not enough healthcare workers to support the beds. This was the problem in other countries.
The situation cannot be contained until there is enough post infection immunity & vaccine protection to slow spread. I don't think original Covid infection antibodies will provide significant protection against new variants, so that leaves vaccine and basic precaution like social distancing, no large crowds and so on.
Unfortunately, Thailand seems to be following India model. It escape first hit and assume it would continue to escape, people get sloppy, little precaution. This virus mutates and adapts to be more infectious and more damaging, and now can have its way with the virgin Thailand. I think Thailand future will be more like India and less like UK with result. We are in for some months of heartbreaking tragedy and Russia or China vaccine will not help.
They are not alone in this, France is in danger of going into freefall with a higher per capita case rate than India, and a population largely reluctant to be vaccinated, partly due to the erratic musings and opinions of their president who purports to be an expert. It's almost like Trump never went away...

You say she has a little boy who you adore, but I do not get the same feeling for your girlfriend - it seems she is somewhere between a chattel and a maid. Do you love her?

For the average man/ family in the UK, a annual holiday is planned and cash saved in advance, 12000 quid ? to have dead in bank?? Other destinations are on the card now, another instance of thai lunacy
.
The average family in the UK will take a holiday of 2 - 3 weeks max - they will not be requiring an SETV.

I don't buy that.
There are plenty who want the current outrageous gap in income strongly reduced.
Currently Thailand has the biggest gap in the world regarding the gap in income.
Thailand is not even in the lowest quartile when it comes to income equality, and certainly nowhere near the good old US of A.

I cannot see how the EU can stop UK fishermen selling to the UK - so maybe that was a typo. But the fact remains that the EU will find it hard to substitute any embargoed UK fish - it would really be a case of cutting off their nose to spite their face.
Anyway, it is an open secret that the UK has offered transitional arrangements over 4 years - which wil be used by Germany and other non-coastal EU states to strongarm Macron to give up his silly willy waving.

But must have health insurance to cover side effects or if the vaccine gives you Covid
Why not just go to the US and get the treatment Trump got - after all, he's immune now. I believe a 4 day stay in hospital and all the necessary treatment and medications will set you back $750.....

Such a shame tat this policy was not adopted in the UK before the Brexit referendum - or before the 2016 US presidential election - explains everything ;-)

There always seems to be this strange attitude whenever money is spent on any public event/project (see Apollo, etc) that the money should not be spent until world poverty/disease has been eradicated. On that logic, no-one should be allowed any discretionary expenditure until the same ends have been achieve - any volunteers ?
Similarly, in the UK, the naysayers following the news (on an event that they allegedly had no interest in) were bleating about how much coverge it was getting and what about the Cuban air crash ? Quite bizarre. The only slightly amusing story from the anti-monarchy scene yesterday was that there was a convention of the Alliance of European Republican Movements held in London - 130 people turned up....

I didnt know they were getting married till i saw a news bite yesterday arvo but i had an early night so tragically missed it.
I bet the UK government had that Russian dissident released from Salisbury hospital to coincide with the wedding. Great distraction.
Bo Jo and May basically lied through their corroded teeth .
Where's the Russian now?
Sounds like you are sorry that he didn't die - strange attitude.

First Rush, now Merson. Liverpool v Arsenal. Soon it will be Mike Dean or Howard Webb or Mark Sheikh Clattenburg to explain, with the aid of 'champagne', why they made that weird decision to award a penalty with just two minutes to go. Or not to send off de Jong of Holland in the first half of the 2010 World Cup Final.
Maybe we could have Graham Three Cards Poll for a fun night...
Is there indeed a large enough expat audience in Bangkok for this kind of thing?
No, will probably be Harry Redknapp next : cash only or cheques made out to Rosie.

The author should probably write Thai man out of respect for the family who just lost their son and to reflect that this is much more likely to be homicide given it's a man.
We don't know he was drunk.
To be fair, we don't know it was homicide either.

Surely the US is the world leader in at least 3 of those categories?

I think where healthcare is concerned they are mere amateurs compared the the USA.
